I guess I don't understand the problem, then.  But about the subject
line,

    how to manage the case where only one file differs per
    branch

the answer is: business as usual.  Tag and branch the entire project,
change the one file that needs to change, commit the change on the
branch and just don't commit changes to the other files.  It's
perfectly ok for a branch to have almost no changes.

The original problem didn't seem like a good match for cvs branches.
